The new Arctic six person Spa/hot tub has arrived and is installed. With its salt water system it is the top of the line tub. Enjoy the cedar sauna and go for a cold plunge in the lake.
Morning Mist Cottage on Lake Deception with 62 acres has completed a five month renovated this winter and spring.
Swimming, sand beach, boating, sauna, private and secluded, 3 fireplaces, ideal for children/families, couples, male and female getaways.
Every inch of this cottage has had an upgrade with three new bathrooms with heated floors, three bedrooms have been gutted and redecorated, all floors sanded and varnished, deck and dock upgrade, new outdoor dining table like none other, and every surface freshly painting and much more.
This has been a 47 year project and over the years I chipped away at improvements until this last renovation (phase 2 ).
HI, my name is Pauline Raymond and I am at your service to create the best holiday experience ever at our fabulous vacation property.
For spring, summer and early fall the swimming is accessible from the new steps down from the dock or from our brand new sandy beach. Our lake is warm without weeds, with a sandy and rocky bottom and a gentle slope for walking into the water for young children. I also prvide beach shoes for the strip of tiny rocks beyond the sand that then goes back to sand as you approach the reaft.
The cottage was always meant as a retreat for rest and renewal. My vision statement has a new word "Respect"...
for the woods, lake, cottage and for those who gather. "Come Home to your Heart at Morning Mist Cottage Retreat; a place of Peace, Laughter and Love!"
The main cottage has a newly renovated primary bedroom with a king bed and an en-suite. For those wanting one level it is easily accessible. Our new beautiful bathroom on the main floor has a tub and shower and beautiful glass green sink. The floors are heated and make all the difference.
The upper level has two bedrooms with queen beds; one named the Green room and one the Yellow Room again newly renovated in 2024. The loft has a pull out coach and a half bath. Not only that we have a small space as an office that has a great view looking over the stairwell. It has a desk aerodynamic computer chair and new printer.
We accommodate nine guests in the warmer months and seven to eight in November and December. Babies under 24 months are free. There is a vintage bunkhouse with a queen bed and two bunks. Coming soon...renovating and decorating the original outhouse with a toilet and sink.
My rates are for four guests with additional guests at $25.00 per night. The first two year long renovations included gutting the interior living space (phase one) for a state-of-the-art kitchen, new floors, insulation, foundation and everything in between.
The waterfront is awesome...the best in 47 years. Swimming is beautiful from May 15 through November if you want a cold plunge after a sauna. We have two new youth mango coloured kayaks for six to 13-year old’s and a new orange Pelican single kayak to add to our red canoe. So much to do to create the Happiness that is the name for our main cottage.
Fireplaces are multiple. A wood burning in the cottage, an outdoor fire pit, and an outdoor propane fireplace.
The woods are a lush beautiful green in spring, summer and in the fall are alive with red, gold and orange. With 62 acres of woodland, privacy is what you have.
Wildlife is abundant...Mr. Beaver is back. He swims from one side of the lake to the other collecting limbs for his home on the other side of the lake. Often there is a family of ducks who swim over to nosy around before moving on.
If you get up early, singing birds will be music to your ears and at night the crickets chirp their way to a cheerful sleep.
For those interested in wildlife a mother deer and her babes are seen bounding through the woods...some of my green plants vanished:(
Morning Mist is unique for the history that has created what we have today. My property was stunning without updating however was necessary and I must say I am in love with the accomplishment. Coming soon...I am working on a nostalgic collection through words and photos as we moved through the years.
This lakefront property is suitable for families, couples, female and male retreats, honeymooners and lots of children.
We offer comfortable beds, three fireplaces, a dry and steam cedar sauna, jet massage whirlpool tub in the primary bedroom en-suite, our new Arctic Spa and everything you can think of to have a very special holiday.
Yoga mats are in the primary bedroom for use anywhere on the decks and most importantly on our new yoga dock which will accommodate 14 guests for yoga.
Since the pandemic we have maintained high standards for cleaning and sanitation with our professional cleaners.
Morning Mist has a distinctive history that has created what we have today. Our privacy allows guests to connect with nature and have a sense of peace.
We offer watercraft, life jackets, firewood, outdoor fire pit and Geo Dome, swings and adventure in the forest.
Only twenty minutes away are pristine isolated white sand beaches...The Sand Hills Beach and Roseway are just a stone’s throw away. Swimming at these beaches is possible and very warm when the tide is coming in.
The Sand Hills beach in particular has the warmest ocean water around if the tide is coming in on a hot day. My children and I often left the cottage when the conditions were perfect at the beach to return to the quiet and tranquility of the lake.
Twenty minutes away we have a nine-hole Golf Club named River Hills Golf and Country Club. Just a mere 17 minutes away you can enjoy our historic town of Shelburne offering fine dining, and the home of the third largest natural harbour in the world. The historic waterfront was the site of the film The Scarlet Letter starring Demi Moore. We have a supermarket on King Street.
The pricing reflects double occupancy. The three private bedrooms with two queens and one king plus a pull out in the loft completes the main cottage. The vintage bunkhouse for spring, summer and early fall has a queen bed and two bunk-beds. Kids and adults love the bunkhouse.
Morning Mist Cottage is special and it is the little things that make it so inviting.... I offer so much in one property and friends and families join together to create wonderful memories.
Whether you are a single person, group of men or ladies, inter generational families, yoga and wellness enthusiasts, this gorgeous retreat will entertain and delight all. It could be your special place for a small wedding or social gathering!
